cutting cost and minmizing margin of error

If your going to have a hydro garden u should think of a couple things. First U don't want to have every individual plant in you "ROW" depending on it's own pump. If ur budget allows, it would be more ergonomical to have a larger pump feeding the entire row of each crop individually. If u have 15 or 20 tomatoe plants "preff" in 5 gallon pots u would likely come out better having one pump for the whole row. Get a larger pump about 600 gph or more connected to your water line that just has drip, or spray nozzles routed to each plant. This way u cut down margin of garden failure when individual pumps keep goin out with that many plants u are sure to have a successful crop, with little day to day effort other than just checkin up on them.
